Aruba is an island renowned for its turquoise waters, year-round sunshine, and welcoming spirit. However, what truly defines its beauty is the sense of community shared by the people and the visitors who love this “One Happy Island.” Part of caring for Aruba means looking after all who call it home, including the many street animals who depend on human compassion and support.
One organization working tirelessly to make a meaningful impact is One Love Foundation, Inc., a volunteer-driven nonprofit dedicated to improving the lives of Aruba’s street animals through sustainable, humane solutions.
A Mission Built on Compassion and Long-Term Change
Founded in 2020, the One Love Foundation is guided by a simple yet powerful belief: long-term animal welfare begins with responsible care. That’s why the foundation focuses primarily on sterilization — the most effective and humane solution for reducing overpopulation and creating safer, healthier communities.
This focus on sterilization has already made a meaningful difference across Aruba. By preventing thousands of unwanted litters and reducing high-risk roaming behavior, these programs allow local rescues and clinics to give more time, care, and attention to the animals who need it most. Since 2022, the foundation has helped raise over $100,000 to support spay and neuter work island-wide, a result made possible through community donations and matching contributions. Every effort brings Aruba one step closer to becoming a safer, kinder place for pets and people alike.
Emergency Care and Essential Supplies
Beyond sterilization, One Love Foundation also supports Aruba’s animal community by providing:
- Emergency veterinary care
- Medical equipment
- Food, kennels, and crates
- Supplies for rescues, clinics, and foster networks
To date, the foundation has donated over $200,000 in essential supplies to organizations across the island, all made possible by animal lovers from around the world who want to make a difference.
A Community Effort That Inspires Visitors and Locals
What sets One Love Foundation apart is the way it brings people together. Locals, visitors, volunteers, and international supporters all play a part in building a safer, more compassionate Aruba.
Many travelers return year after year, and helping care for Aruba’s animals is a meaningful way to give back to a destination they love. The foundation regularly shares stories, updates, and ways to get involved, allowing supporters to stay connected long after their vacation ends.
For Eagle Aruba Resort, spotlighting their work is a way to amplify their impact and encourage more people to participate in responsible, community-focused tourism.
